Conquer the game world

Chapter 6 Starry Night City

After saying goodbye to Wang Wen, Ye Feng arrived at the exit of the beginner village. During his time in the beginner village, Ye Feng had been here countless times, but there was no exit. In Ye Feng's memory, this was the only exit of the beginner village, and for the past few days, it had been a dead end, as if the entire beginner village was a cage.

Of course, Ye Feng didn't believe that this place was a dead end. During this period, Ye Feng secretly waited here. Sure enough, the villagers who wanted to leave the village all left from here. However, what Ye Feng saw was that the villagers disappeared when they reached this dead end, and then suddenly reappeared when they came back.

Ye Feng saw this and realized in his heart that there was indeed an exit here, but he had not yet met the requirements, so he could not get out.

Sure enough, now that he was level 10, Ye Feng returned to this place and no longer saw a dead end. Sometime later, a familiar road appeared again.

Instead of rushing out of the village, Ye Feng first entered his game interface. He had been grinding in the dungeon for so long and had picked up quite a few items. He hadn't paid attention to what he had before because he was so focused on the dungeon.

Opening his pack, Ye Feng found it indeed filled with a jumble of odds and ends. There were a large pile of various weapons, including spears and short swords. There were also some materials, which Ye Feng glanced at and realized were just some simple items.

After everything was organized, Ye Feng suddenly noticed a new feature unlocked in the corner. Players would unlock the shop function after reaching level 10, where they could buy and sell items. It seemed that he was right. He hadn't noticed it at all when he was farming dungeons, but now he saw that it was exactly as he had imagined.

Sell ​​all the miscellaneous items in the shop, keeping only the best weapon and selling the rest. As for the materials, although they're not useful now, they might be useful later, so Ye Feng kept them all.

After selling everything I could, I checked my inventory and found I had one silver coin. One silver coin costs 100 copper coins. Although it wasn't much in the game, it was my first savings since arriving here.

The in-game store also sells some necessities. The variety of items increases as the player's level increases, and the higher the player's level, the more advanced the items they can buy. After opening it, Ye Feng invested all of his first savings into buying health potions and mana potions for his alt character. He had spent all his savings. Ye Feng sighed, "Money really doesn't last long. I only bought some ordinary potions, and all my savings were gone. I don't even dare to look at the other materials, recipes, or weapons. I can't afford them at all. It seems that the road to making money is long and arduous."

Looking at the potions he had just bought lying in his package, Ye Feng felt a rare little excited. He was used to living a frugal life, and finally he didn't have to save mana anymore. Thinking back to how frugal he was during the dungeon runs a while ago, he could be considered a small tycoon now.

One day later, at the city gate of Xingye City on the edge of Tianxing Kingdom.

Ye Feng, looking disheveled (he hadn't tidied himself up since leaving the starting village), stood at the city gate—or rather, he lay sprawled there.

What a rip-off of this game! When did this road become so long? A journey that should only take a few minutes in the game took Ye Feng a whole day of sprinting at full speed. If it weren't for the food, he probably would have collapsed on the way. It's clear that Ye Feng was extremely frustrated at that moment.

"Hey, you over there, don't block the doorway, move aside." Ye Feng's presence at the doorway had already caught the attention of the city guards. Of course, in such a remote city, there was no real danger. The city guards were mainly responsible for maintaining order and keeping an eye out for any wanted criminals who might sneak in. So, the city guards weren't exactly formidable figures.

"..."

"Hey, stop pretending to be dead and get out of here!" Seeing that Ye Feng didn't react, the city guard came up and pushed Ye Feng.

"Damn it, who the hell are you?!" Ye Feng was lying on the city gate, contemplating life (uh, why use the word "lying down"?), when he was suddenly pushed. After all, he was just a college student who hadn't yet entered society, so his temper was naturally very fiery, and he immediately got angry.

Ye Feng immediately realized something was wrong. He suddenly realized that he was already in a different world, no longer the young master at home who could throw tantrums whenever he wanted. Unfortunately, he couldn't stop himself from saying those words.

The first thing Ye Feng did after realizing what was happening was to run away. That's right, run away as fast as you can. In the past, if a new player in the game "General God" offended the city guards, it was undoubtedly a death sentence. Although these soldiers were only level 15, they had the advantage of numbers. Several of them ganged up on you. How could a level 10 player withstand that?

Of course, if you are a high-level player, the system also has ways to deal with you. If you kill a few low-level NPC city guards, the system will spawn a high-level one to kill you.

As the saying goes, a wise man doesn't suffer a loss when he's in trouble. He should take action when necessary. In fact, Ye Feng didn't really suffer a loss. With his acceleration skill, Ye Feng disappeared in an instant.

"What a damn rip-off! This game is meddling way too much! I used to just set up a stall at the gate, okay? Is this some kind of rip-off?" Ye Feng cursed, but his feet didn't stop moving, and he quickly entered the city.

Only then did Ye Feng realize a serious problem: perhaps he should tidy up his outfit. He looked a bit like a beggar on the street.

However, Ye Feng is now facing another serious problem: he has no money. There is money in that alternate dimension in his mind, but he can't take it out. Damn it!

After much deliberation, Ye Feng decided to sell a piece of green equipment. He had already cleared out all the unnecessary items in his inventory, and he was reluctant to part with the materials, so he had no choice but to sell the green equipment that he was reluctant to clear out.

Fortunately, he still had some equipment to spare. He examined the savage dagger; the reason he was willing to sell it was because it increased mana. Ye Feng already had another savage dagger that increased strength, so this one seemed unnecessary. He took the weapon and went into a weapon shop, intending to sell the extra dagger.

"Boss, do you buy this?"

The boss was an elderly man over fifty years old, but because he was usually in good health, he didn't look that old. Only the wrinkles on his forehead and the gray hair on his head showed the marks of time.

The old man was lost in thought when he suddenly came to his senses and saw the weapon Ye Feng was handing him.

The old man glanced at it casually and then closed his eyes again. "They won't accept your thing here. Try the Flying Dragon Exchange over there."

The Flying Dragon Exchange? Isn't that a platform specifically for players to trade items? No way, it seems like this is a large trading guild. Anyway, let's give it a try.

After Ye Feng had walked away, the shopkeeper opened his eyes again. "Items imbued with magic are very rare. It's a pity my little shop can't afford such things. But who would put magic into such a weapon? What a waste."

At this moment, Ye Feng was unaware of the weapon shop owner's words and was feeling frustrated that his weapon was worthless, as even a weapon shop owner was unwilling to accept it.

In any case, this is the only thing he has to sell. If he can't sell it, he'll really end up on the streets as a beggar. He has to try no matter what. Besides, Ye Feng doesn't think this thing is worthless. It's a green-grade item, after all.

When Ye Feng arrived at the entrance of the Flying Dragon Exchange, he was unsurprisingly stopped at the door. It wasn't that the gatekeeper looked down on him or thought Ye Feng was too poor to enter; it was just that Ye Feng's attire made him look like a beggar.

After thinking it over, it seemed he definitely wouldn't be able to get in with his current attire, and he was indeed penniless. Although he really wanted to show off his wealth and give the two security guards a good scolding, he couldn't do that now.

Ye Feng stood at the door glaring at the gatekeeper for a long time, but no young master or young lady from a prominent family came to take him in.

"Isn't that how novels are written? This is totally a lie! I'm the protagonist, okay? I'm here to save the world, okay?" Ye Feng muttered to himself.

Frustrated as he was, it seemed he still had to rely on himself. With no other choice, Ye Feng instantly performed a backflip followed by a 360-degree turn as he descended the stairs at the entrance of the Flying Dragon Chamber of Commerce, quickly leaving to conceal his achievements.

The two guard dogs at the gate were completely dumbfounded, having never seen such a skill before. Before they could even say anything to mock Ye Feng, he had already disappeared from their sight.

"Is this kid crazy?"

"I think so too. No wonder he's such a young beggar. We were so damn nice to him just now. Next time he shows up, we'll beat him up!"

"Okay, don't let me see that kid again. Hey, what's up with you today? I feel like a gust of wind has blown by."

"You must have been asleep last night, you're sick in the head."

Hmph, you want to beat me up? You're still a long way off.

Unbeknownst to the two watchdogs, Ye Feng had already sneaked past them and entered the exchange. Of course, Ye Feng entered in stealth mode, and the two watchdogs, being ordinary people, had no way of detecting Ye Feng's stealthy intrusion.

Upon entering the exchange, Ye Feng did not rush to disengage from stealth. After observing from a distance for a while, he realized that there were no high-level NPCs here, so there should be no danger of being discovered. He decided to find an appraiser to approach first and then seize the opportunity to appear, lest he be kicked out again in a while.

After a quick scan, I noticed that the venue on the first floor was packed with people, and many appraisers and staff were busy at work.

At this moment, Ye Feng spotted a middle-aged, overweight man in work clothes sitting on a bench in the corner. Why was he overweight again? Never mind, he seemed to have plenty of free time, so he decided to look for him to avoid wasting time here.

Thinking this, Ye Feng walked towards the middle-aged fat man...
